My god, I am so hungry, waiting for my food Staring out the window, straight directly at the moon What will quench my thirst and bring me to the light? Could I really understand all the reasons why? My god, son, you're so funny for thinking you could be The one who finally figures out the point of all this living We're an ocean of mystery and regret Nothing can save you from the demons in your bed She's right at night I lay awake and wonder why Everything seems to pass me by So I'm just a mortal living on this earth Hoping for a chance to pass along my worth To a younger generation quickly getting old Clinging on to hopes I have, getting on through the cold This semblance of a life is really not that grim To live out of context is the only way to fit in And to know what you want and who you've got You'll have to stare them in the face and show them what you're not If your heart just wants to explode Carefully pull the pin out Do you know what you want? Do I know what I want? Well, I'd like to And I'd like it to be you And if it could be Then it should be Everyday I hold on, hold on Everyday I hold on, hold on to you Everyday I hold on Everyday I hold on Everyday I hold on Everyday I hold on to you
